Short answer
The best tennis racket for tennis elbow is usually an arm-friendly frame with comfort, stability, and easy swing effort. If your elbow is already irritated, avoid chasing raw power first; a calmer, more forgiving racket is the safer shortlist.

How to Choose
Start with comfort, stability, and swing effort. Softer-feeling frames and more forgiving responses are usually safer than stiff, lively rackets if your arm is already sensitive. Then check strings and tension, because even a good frame can feel harsh with the wrong setup.
